Finally

Got my new Blackberry sent to me. Yay. I'm downloading applications as I type. I ran my ass across town during rush hour traffic (do we even have a rush hour here or is that just on the East Coast?) because my son refused to get up for FedEx. Well, those lazy, crazy days of summer are going to end on August 31st. Yes, that is their firs today of school this year. Early. A slave to the alarm clock once again.

Ubertwitter is done downloading. I now need my CNN.

Work has been crazy lately. Our manager has been out all week. The past three weeks he's been in and out. My supervisor is having a rough time coping with everything. I'd offer my assistance but I'm going to harden my feelings toward him and the whole situation. I need to work. I have no idea what's going on with my boss, but I know it's something serious with his 15 year old. I have a feeling it's something along the lines of Leukemia or some other type of cancer. I can see in my manager's face the hardship he's going through and it breaks my heart. No parent should have to go through something like this. I have no idea how they're working this out. I assume he's on some type of FMLA plan right now. I pray everything turns out for the best. I have a feeling it will. Prayers.

Ubertwitter and CNN - done. Next up - AIM.

I really do have to go to bed. I'm not dragging as much as I was yesterday. I should get used to these new hours in about a year.

Talked to J briefly. Of course he wants it when he wants it. He doesn't understand that I have a life too. He doesn't care what I have to do. That's not important. Spoiled rotten and so used to getting his way. It must be hard living in this world.

Nite

new work schedule

I started this new schedule today and already its kicking my ass. I think I'm getting old and my body isn't as versatile as it used to be. Anyways, this schedule is one that if you work 9 hours per day Mon-Thur you will earn a day off every other Friday. I honestly don't know if it's worth it. At least not yet. It's an hour less time I'll get to spend with my son after school. I really need to be here for him at this age. I'm conflicted. I had to try it and see if it would work. I don't like getting off work an hour later each day. The reason I have been going in very early was so I could get off early. Now what is the freaking point? So I came home and fell asleep until 8:00. Weee.

Saturday afternoon and all is well.

I haven't blogged in a while. I don't have much to say that's probably why.

Let's see I broke my Blackberry, well, it wasn't my fault that the thing decided to just up and die. It stopped responding, something is wrong with the keyboard. I have a new one on its way. I was very tempted to get an iPhone but I think I'm going to wait for my real upgrade discount. If they were to give me an early upgrade it would be an extra $75. Thanks for nothing. I think they're making enough on these iPhones that they could have given a long time customer a much better deal. AT&T will not go out of business if they do that for me. Lately they've been a little tight with their services. Whatever.

My boss has been in & out of the office for the past two weeks. He doesn't look good, has bags under his eyes and the other day he came in with his wife to meet with the VP. I'm sure they're understanding about his crisis since he has been with the company for 15 years. Everyone seems to be handling things for him good enough while he works from home. I think it has something to do with his 15 year old daughter. Someone told me they heard him say something like "she was just diagnosed." I think that's very scary and I've been doing a lot of praying for him and his family. I hope it all turns out okay. Something like this can happen to each and every one of us, nobody is immune. When something serious happens to your child your entire world falls apart. You have nothing left. I know with even the slightest injury or fever I'm feeling bad. I could not imagine something more serious. I'm tossing out prayers right now into the universe.

Now to complain about my neighbors. Between the two of them on each side of me there are 15 people living with them. The kids are up all hours of the night, running around half naked, screaming and chasing after their dog who shits everywhere. They are filthy little kids who always have snot crust around their noses, with dirty, black feet. Haven't they heard of MRSA? I think it's disgusting. It's really not the fault of the children that they have such incompetent parents and family around them. This is precisely why I can't stand Mexicans who come straight over from the Mexico illegally. All their dealings with us have been dishonest as they try to put one over on everyone to get ahead. Pisses me off. Get a life and conform, will ya? We're not going to accept you if you act like that and can't speak English, and that's too fucking bad. This isn't Tijuana.

A plane and a helicopter collided into The Hudson River today.

Finally Friday

Hubby is at work and the kids are sleeping. I finally get some alone time.

Today was my first full day of Nutrisystems eating. It was pretty hard for me to get used to it all over again. I'm having a rocky start, but I"ll get there. Persistence overcomes resistance. Eventually. Right.

More drama at work with my ignorant supervisor. He just doesn't do the right thing and it causes a lot of problems within our team. All today did was take away a couple of hours of production. He made a mistake and didn't see it.

I spoke to my therapist yesterday and explained how I need to save money for my monthly food supply and that I may have to terminate our partnership. Well she's not going to let me do it. She told me she will lessen my copay to $10 and I can basically show up when I want. I think this is really nice of her. She explains that we're meant to be. I laugh at that. I got the validation i needed from her to hear that I'm okay. If she thought I was crazy she would've said so. I just need to be less emotional and stop yelling as much, which is going to be hard for this NY bitch to do.

Weird about David Carradine, huh? Eww. It kinda grosses me out. I cringe when I imagine him hanging, with a rope around his penis in a puddle of his own ejaculate. Yeah, so you were part of that show, but now all that's kind of gone out the window for me.

I'm going to watch Taken now.
